looks like the standard Mozilla-based breakage of munching the source code before it shows it to you in "view source". And it looks like the extra spaces are compressed badly and inconsistently. So I've taken out a ton of whitespace (sorry, Petruchio) and we'll see if the problem recurs.

I could not recreate the problem following your instructions above, but had the same issue a couple of times lately. Unfortunatly I cannot recall what I did before it happened (same browser).

UPDATE: The problem seems to come from a slash in the url: somehow (right after posting) it became http://www.perlmonks.org/index.pl/?node_id=400961 and the relative link to index.pl would therefore take me to /index.pl/index.pl. IE is doing the same. Maybe a link to "/index.pl" would fix this?

I bet you posted and previewed before this happened. The preview submit form wasnt playing nice with some other changes we did earlier and was causing this to happen. I patched all of the offending code yesterday so this error should be a thing of the past.
